HOUSTON – A teenager died and three other people were injured after a shooting in southwest Houston on Sunday.
The shooting happened at approximately 1:18 a.m. in the 7200 block of West Fuqua Street.
Houston Assistant Police Chief M. Martin said there was a chaotic scene, and the victim was a 17-year-old girl.
The other three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Two groups were shooting at each other after an altercation outside of a business. An 18-year-old woman was injured as well as two men, ages 18 and 20.
The woman was taken to a local hospital by firefighters, and the two men were taken to the hospital in their own vehicles.
“All we heard was gunfire, and we ducked. People were running (and) hopping fences. When the shots stopped, I ran out to find my sister. I saw her over there on the floor,” said Sakani Blue, the victim’s friend.
Police said there were at least two shooters and several bullet casings at the scene. Authorities did not recover any weapons, and they are still investigating.
